FORT BENNING, Ga. – Several hundred Soldiers and their families turn out here Jan. 29 for an evening of live music, free barbecue and a chance to meet NFL football players and cheerleaders, and – to the delight of many youngsters – the Falcons’ fun-loving, mascot “Freddie Falcon.” Billed as a “Salute to Service” and sponsored jointly by the USO and the NFL, the event ran from 5 to shortly after 7 , inside Fort Benning’s McGinnis-Wickam Hall.
